Match Ratings Ratings vs Luton Town

[daveduvet]

Order of merit: vdv; cuti; vicario; kulu; sarr; madders; udogie; porro - then the rest …

 

[parj]

Cuti for me, only just ahead of VDV. He stepped up another level when the arm band went on him.

The small pitch didn't suit us, but Madders still found pockets to get into.

 

[MattPhilpott]

Richy is functional in this system but that’s it.

Can’t ever deny his effort or drive but I seriously think the minute we get a palatable offer we need to look to move him on, for our sake and his.

 

[Nebby]

Really hard to pick just one today, but I went for Porro. I thought he was superb and had that outside-of-the-foot curler gone in, I’d still be cheering now. And I just love his passion. Sarr also had a great game, especially when we went down to ten. Love this team, and props to Ange too. Kept us driving forward and playing the beautiful game. At last a manger who really gets what To Dare Is To Do means.

Suprised Porro only got 2 votes, I thought he was outstanding but fair enough VDV and Romero were also incredible.

Yeh, that boy would find pockets
on a snooker table.

Even I can find pockets on a snooker table. I’ve spent enough time taking balls out of pockets for my opponent while they make massive breaks.

 

[UbeAstard]

Sarr was a bit sloppy with his passing at times but never stopped running.

Also loses possession by miscontroling his first touch more than any other. Sometimes he is really good then other times gives me concerns but he is young yet.

Yeah, I think his concentration wanders a bit, or he's thinking about the next move and not focusing on the current moment.
He's so young though and has been pretty much thrown into things straight away, so he's doing bloody well.
I've no doubt that he'll tighten up the loose areas of his game

This is why I went for team effort

Yea good shout to be fair, as Kulu was also excellent, whole team were fantastic going down to 10 and digging in.

 

[degoose]

VDV will win it but i went with Kulu. The guy just ran and ran today, nearly scored, played some great stuff and when he was then playing up top by himself he was battling, winning the ball and taking on at times 3 players and getting up the pitch, slowing the play down and bringing others forward which really helped alleviate the pressure which is what you need with 10 men on the pitch.

Bravo Kulu

 

[McFlash]

I went team.
Was tempted with VDV for his goal but there were just so many good performances out there and it could easily have gone to Romero, Udogie, Madders, Sarr, Porro, Deki, Big Vic...
We've got some real battlers in this team now and they all spur each other on.
Great personalities creating a great team spirit

Vicario - 8.5 Clean sheet, I still expect our keeper to boot it to row z under pressure, he keeps finding our players, mostly Kulu, in difficult situations, long may it continue
VDV - 9 MOTM, Goal and cut out everything in the channels, Morris couldn't cope with him
Romero - 8 Not a perfect game, but imperious when we went down to 10
Udoggie - 7.5 Some stumbles but runs all day, so impressive
Porro - 8 Ran his socks off, could have scored, lost possession leading to Bissouma's first yellow
Bissouma - 4 Brain fart, but if Richarlison et al score in the first 15 minutes, I don't think he panics to try to win a free kick on the edge of the box
Sarr - 8 once Bissouma went off, I guess he said to himself, "I'm the man now." Wow, just wow.
Madison - 8 why didn't we sign him straight from Norwich? Such class. Some wasted shots, Great assist, but what earns him the 8 is just before he is subbed he wins possession in the left back position to snuff out a potentially dangerous counter
Son - 7 not his best game but some classy first touches in that opening 15 minutes
Richarlison - 5 - use your head and its a goal, but hey Adebayo used the wrong leg in a similar gilt edged chance, trouble is one plays for Spurs and one just got promoted, the other great chance Richarlison has, the defender gets a toe in, but still Kane would have buried these
Kulu - 8.5 Keeper made a great save on his first half chance, second half, wow, just wow, constantly gave us an outlet and ran his socks off, rarely lost possession, and smart thinking on the corner which lead to our goal

Hojberg - 7 smart playing with 10 men, exposed for pace which earned him his yellow
Skipp - 6 a Skippy skip performance, not more or less than his usual hard working self
Davies - 6 same as Skipp
Emerson - 7 added some composure in midfield, they really didn't have any more sniffs of goals once he came on
Veliz - NA I'm really hoping this kid can turn into Aguero 2.0, there is something about him, he looks the part
